What are the Treatment Options for Primary Dysmenorrhea?
Treatment focuses on relieving pain and improving quality of life. First-line treatments include NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen, which help reduce prostaglandin production. Hormonal contraceptives like birth control pills can also be effective in managing symptoms by regulating or suppressing menstruation. Lifestyle modifications, such as regular physical exercise and dietary changes, can also be beneficial.
